Depending on weather you allow it as Anime or not RWBY is very good prescisely becuase it uses an anime style without reverting to every single anime trope. (for example none of the girls seem to be blushing maidens or damsels in distress like far too many anime females)

American cartoons are either program length commercials for a line of toys, or assume that kids are stupid enough to watch anything as long as it is in cartoon form. Exceptions to this, like Animaniacs, are rare.

Samurai Jack is the first that comes to mind. Although the main thing that drew me to japanese anime over western cartoons is the episodic/sequential progression of story. As awesome as it was, Samurai Jack had the same amount of story progression as any traditional american cartoon, equal to Dexter's Lab and such.
